Mgła – Exercises In Futility (2015)

September 7, 2022

These guys catch a lot of shit for their association with Mikko Aspa, having all of their records so far released on his label, Northern Heritage. But anyway, I’d downloaded and listened to this thing before I knew that so – how does Mgła sound? These guys are intensely hyped in the scene, and to be honest, I can kinda see why. Exercises In Futility is an intricately woven blanket of sound. Broken into six parts, it can be a dense album to penetrate, but once your in and underneath it, it will utterly consume you. Yeah. Seems a bit OTT, but its a good black metal record, what can I say?
